Franschhoek Wine Tram: Hop-on Hop-off Tour with Transfers

About this experience

Franschhoek Wine Tram Hop-on Hop-off Tour with Cape Town Transfers This ticket covers a full hop-on hop-off guided tram tour through the heart of the Cape Winelands, visiting seven to eight wine estates in the historic Franschhoek Valley. Your day begins with a morning pickup from your Cape Town accommodation, followed by a scenic transfer to Franschhoek. You arrive at the tram station at around 9:30am, where your guide issues your ticket and orients you for the day ahead. The vintage tram runs on a well-organised schedule, allowing you to alight at any estate that interests you, explore the cellars and grounds at your own pace, and rejoin the tram to continue your journey. Each estate has its own character, from historic cellars to contemporary tasting rooms, reflecting the diverse winemaking traditions that make Franschhoek celebrated. Your guide remains on hand throughout the day to keep the group connected and ensure you are back at the station in time for the return transfer to Cape Town.
